What can I say, but LOOOVVVEED IT! This movie was sooooooo FANTASTIC! It surpases the other movie by far. More interesting plots and more chemistry! WAHOOOOO! IT WAS FANTASTIC! oooh, I already said that.
ANyway, as usual, Mrs Parker is chasing Jarod again, but on this island. I've been a fan of this show since it first started and was later cancled on television. All the actors/actresses on the show have the best chemistry that I've seen since "The X-Files"!!! The previews got me soooooo excited about seeing this one too! We all know that Mrs Parker and Jarod have the most chemistry. I bet she enjoys chasing him as much as he enjoys being chased. Mr Raines, Mr Lyle, and Mr Parker were their usual weird and creepy selves, but they're just as awesome and fantastic. Broots, Sydney, and Angelo were also just as great as ever. THIS IS THE BEST ENSEMBLE CAST TO DATE! (since the xfiles of course).
It was MR LYLE that surprised me the most. As for that "kiss", you just have to see this movie for yourself to find out. Michael T Weiss, Andrea Parker, and the others are the best of the best! MORE MOVIES TO COME! PLEASE! CONTINUE ON WITH "THE PRETENDER"!!! Who will know if this show and movies of the show will *ever* end. The more the merrier.
I ALWAYS looked forward to Mrs Parker chasing Jarod. There is also humor, horror, and all the other elements that make this movie THE MOVIE TO WATCH! YOU WILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS I DID!

I had to wait nearly a year since seeing The Pretender 2001, but the wait was worth it. Island of the Haunted begins shortly after the last installment, with Jarod and Miss Parker searching for the answers to their questions. The cast, writers and director deserve much praise and applause for their work on Island of the Haunted. The movie stays loyal to the fans and does a great job of keeping those unfamiliar with the series well informed. Like in Pretender 2001, some questions were answered and new ones were brought up. This of course leaves the door open for future movies. Well I say go for it and make more. Thumbs up for Island of the Haunted.
I thought this was an excellent continuation of the Pretender series. I loved the mystery of the TV series, and was super excited when they continued it with the movies. This installment, however, left so many unanswered questions, that I found myself repeatedly screaming at the TV to hurry up and tell me what the hell was going on. I would sum up for you what the movie was about, but I'm still trying to figure out all the intimate details myself. On the other hand, I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! This is some of the best writing ever, and like the first installment, Pretender 2001, it kept me on the edge of my seat, and kept me guessing (and gets better with the 2nd viewing). There are so many things that go into the mythology of the series and the characters, that you can't sum it up in just a few sentences. If you enjoy movies with clever writing, interesting and complicated characters and storylines, this is the show for you (as it is for me). I'm sure the 2nd time I watch it (or the 3rd, 4th...etc) the true brilliance of the writing will astound me, as the series and the first movie did.
If you are just coming into the movies, I suggest watching a couple of episodes of the series (TNT) to get a true feel for the character and story dynamic. You will truly appreciate it.

I've been a fan of the show since day one and was very sad that the show ended. More than that I am sad that that this movie was the last one. The truth will never be revealed. This movie was great. It gives a new direction to the whole story. I really liked the way the movie answers all the questions that were brought up in the previous movie (The Pretender 2001) and yet brings even more question. I mean, this movie really makes you wonder. But I'm not planning to spoil it. One of the better things about this movie is the way Miss Parker and Jarod are working together. They are a great team! I love Miss Parker's character and Andrea Parker (Miss Parker) is a great actress. I wish there were more episodes to the show or more movies. If you like The Pretender (the series) and The Pretender 2001 you will LOVE this movie!
Island of the haunted was quite good even though I'm not sure I like the fact that the super natural takes a larger and larger part of the story. I doubt that any fans of The Pretender will be disappointed with this movie.
The thing that really bugs me is that few of the original questions was answered. Sure, we got to learn a lot more but most of the new knowledge was from questions made in this movie. Another thing that is annoying is that I now get the feeling that they will never tell us the background and what is really going on. It's turning into the same kind of series as the X-files. Episode after episode with small hints and a developing plot but no end in sight, ever!
Since the series are now only being produced in the form of movies, the directors should think about closing it. Decide what they want to tell and make one or more movies and tell the story. I don't think they will ever do that though, instead they will just try to milk The Pretender for $ after $ for as long as possible. When they can't make more money from it they will put it to rest, without giving us an end..
But as I said early on, this picture is quite good if you don't mind being left off with more questions than answers.
